Woolly Thyme (Thymus pseudolanuginosus)Herb in 9cm Pot
Thymes are grown the world over as it is such a versatile plant. It is drought tolerant - an overall easy-care plant.
Woolly Thyme as the name suggests has hairy leaves and reaches a height of 5cm the grey-green woolly leaves form an evergreen mat so it is suitable for planting in the rock garden, herb garden or the front of a border it will also make a very good container plant as it has a natural trailing habit. Try planting between pavers so when walked on or brushed past it will release its scent. It will produce pink flowers in summer but it is the woolly leaves that are the reason for growing this variety.
Thyme likes a well-drained light soil, and it should not be too rich in nutrients as this will only encourage the plant to grow 'leggy' and lose its compact shape, also ensure that the plant is cut back after flowering again to help maintain shape. Being a native of the Mediterranean it needs a place in full sun.
Herb Usage
